Definitions
- the present invention relates to wraps. More particularly, the present invention relates to multi-layer wraps.
- Wraps permit unitisation of a number of loosely held items.
- the structure of any given wrap is dictated to an extent by the particular function it is intended to serve. There are several variables to consider, such as mass, shape, storage conditions and transport conditions.
- the metal industry for example, requires unitisation of heavy items, such as large rolls of feedstock material (e.g., steel or aluminium coils).
- the items may also be susceptible to various environmental conditions. Other concerns include the cost effectiveness of the particular wrap, the ease with which it can be made and its ease of use. There exists a need for a wrap that obviates or mitigates the effects of at least some of the above-presented variables.
- a stretchable multi-layer wrap comprises a first film, which comprises an inside cling surface, and a second film, which comprises an inside cling surface.
- the second film inside cling surface engages the first film inside cling surface.
- the wrap also comprises a plurality of longitudinal ribs that are co-aligned with a longitudinal axis of the wrap. The ribs are disposed between the engaged cling surfaces and spaced so as not to cause disengagement of the cling surfaces.
- the stretchable multi-layer wrap may further comprise a third film, which comprises a cling surface; and, the second film may further comprise an outside cling surface, which is opposite the inside cling surface.
- the third film cling surface engages the second film outside cling surface.
- the plurality of longitudinal ribs may further comprise a plurality of transverse ribs extending between and interconnecting the longitudinal ribs.
- a stretchable multi-layer wrap comprising a plurality of cling films.
- Each film comprises respective opposing cling surfaces.
- the films are arranged so as to effect cling surface laminar engagement of the films.
- the wrap also comprises a plurality of longitudinal ribs that are co-aligned with a longitudinal axis of the wrap. The ribs are disposed between the engaged cling surfaces and spaced so as not to cause disengagement of the cling surfaces.

- the cling films ( 11 , 15 ) may be treated in any of a number of ways dictated by the particular wrapping requirements of a given task.
- they may also be treated so as to, among other things, inhibit or block ultraviolet radiation, may be colour tinted or made opaque, may be printed, may receive anti-static treatment and or may include slip additives. It will be apparent that the film treatment selected may be varied to suit the needs of the particular wrapping task.
- the stretchable multi-layer wrap 10 may be manufactured in a number of ways. Referring to FIG. 4 , a perspective view of one such manner of manufacture is illustrated. Feedstock rolls of the first cling film 11 , ribs 19 and second cling film 15 are fed into a roller 35 arrangement. The rollers 35 apply a pressure 33 to the portions of the films ( 11 , 15 ) and ribs 19 that pass between the rollers 35 . The pressure 33 applied is sufficient to cause a clinging engagement of the films ( 11 , 15 ), resulting in the stretchable multi-layer wrap 10 . The number and kind of feedstock rolls may be varied to suit the given wrapping requirements.
- the stretchable multi-layer wrap 10 comprises a third film 23 , which in turn comprises a cling surface 25 , and the second film 15 further comprises an outside cling surface 21 , opposite the inside cling surface 17 , the third film cling surface 25 engages the second film outside cling surface 21 ; and, a fourth film 27 , which in turn comprises a cling surface 29 and the first film 11 further comprises an outside cling surface 37 , opposite the inside cling surface 13 , the fourth film cling surface 29 engages the first film outside cling surface 37 .
